After the horrendous weather and lack of sightings on the static nest cam on Sunday, we hoped for better yesterday.
The weather was much improved, but we were still on the static nest cam, No sight or sound of any Osprey at all until 12.50pm when Odin landed defending the nest. At just gone 1pm a BTO ringed intruder landed briefly, and then again a few minutes later. Odin gave chase and we didn't see it again. Odin remained very alert with eyes to the sky often after that.
All was quiet until just gone 4pm and EJ landed :) Odin returned and they spent a few minutes together before she retreated to the campost. That was all we saw of EJ today. We heard her calling from the campost though.
Odin started on major nestorations, bringing in some pretty big sticks, and kept going on and off the nest until 10.37pm, so lots of sightings of Odin yesterday.
What will today bring? Fish and a mobile camera please :)

Well hello, gorgeous:
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
.. and he returns.
Morning ALL!

Odin's back. My sound has now gone altogether.
He has flown.
Hi, Sheila!
I can hear a slight hiss, and occasional 'rumble' which could be the wind.
Morning Clare. How is Helen today?
She's not great. She is suffering from chest pain and she threw up in the night. She had an ECG yesterday - she has an appointment on Thursday to discuss it. To say the least I'm a bit worried.
Morning Clare and Sheila :)
Hi, Moffer! Thanks for starting today's thread.
